Traveling is a hassle, y'all. Where's the happy medium between forgetting something and overpacking?

A Kickstarter project wants to help you get everything possible out of your excursions, sans the packing anxiety and embarrassingly huge luggage that makes spontaneous exploration next to impossible. And it comes in the form of a bag that sucks. (Stick with us here.)

By sucks, we mean vacuum compressed, which means more space to pack without the bulky feel. Meet GoBag.

Already super funded on Kickstarter, GoBag wants to be the only travel bag you'll ever need again — and with six different ways to open it and an air-tight compartment to pack more than you've ever packed before, we'd say that's highly possible. The vacuum compression can be done by hand, or by using a literal vacuum if you're really trying to pack that puppy full.

Air-tight compression means no space is wasted.

A separate pocket at the top makes for easy access (and less digging) for essentials like keys, passports, IDs, and the like. Add in a padded laptop pocket, water bottle pockets, a hidden pocket for a secret stash of money, and multiple straps for different carrying positions.

Oh, and you know how annoying it is to open your carry-on to see that toothpaste has exploded all over your belongings? GoBag also comes with a waterproof, airport security-approved bag for those liquids and pastes.
